Evolving Elizah: Initiatum

By: Hall, C. J.

Elizah (Liz) Goeff was born into a world much like the one we know today, but she doesn't remember it. It's all gone now, covered in ash after a series of natural disasters threw North American civilization into a death spiral. Now Liz's world is the Green Grow 3, a lush space farm orbiting Earth designed to feed humanity until the planet can heal itself.

The space farm was a brilliant plan that might have worked, if not for the terrorist group that calls itself the New Generation. They are intent on destroying the Green Grow dream, and Liz is intent on destroying them. They took everything that mattered to her - her home, her mother, and her older brother Jackson who has been missing for years. She won't let them take the Green Grow 3 as well.

Cut off from the Green Grow Executive Council and abandoned by their former Captain, Liz will do anything to help her friend and now-Captain, Seth, to keep the ship and its inhabitants safe. They are her people now. Or are they? As Liz fights to save the ship and humanity, she realizes that nothing is as it seems - not the New Generation, not her brother's disappearance, and not the war she assumed Green Grow was winning.

When New Generation spies are captured on the ship, they begin to reveal truths about Liz's world and her family that she struggles to accept. As her illusions unravel, this fierce young woman must decide - who should she fight for now, and to what end? And is it really possible that she alone has the power to end to the conflict that has defined her entire life?

Space Farm

Evolving Elizah: Initiatum by C J Hall After a volcanic eruption that caused the end of the ability to grow things on earth, Elizah moves to a new space farm station called Green Grow 3. She is a trained shuttle pilot, making regular visits to earth stations and returning to the space farm. One time, she picks up 52 survivors that are in danger of being murdered by the fanatical terrorist group New Generation. Elizah is put into quarantine with the 52 survivors, dubbed Liz's 52, while the Council on board the space farm decides what to do with the survivors and with Elizah (Liz), herself. They find out there are spies aboard Green Grow 3, who will stop at nothing to kill everyone there. The book was pretty good, I lost interest near the beginning, several times. There is room for developing characters along the way. This is a stand-alone book but seems like the way is left open to continue on with a series. I received a complimentary copy from #netgalley and #ingramspark and was under no obligation to post a review.
